H1 2023 Trading Update

· c.49% Net Revenue growth on prior year

· Record Active Members of c.316,000

Ten Lifestyle Group plc (AIM: TENG), the platform driving customer loyalty for global financial institutions and other premium brands, announces its trading update for the six months ended 28 February 2023 ("H1").

Trading Update

The Group expects to report half year Net Revenue1 of c.£30.9m, c.49% above the first half of the prior year (H1 2022: £20.8m) and c.18% above the second half of the prior year (H2 2022: £26.1m) demonstrating consistent, continued growth. Growth during the period was driven by contract developments and a record number of Active Members2,up 36% on first half of the prior year to 316k (H1 2022: 221k, H2 2022: 275k).

Adjusted EBITDA3 for H1 is expected to be c.£5.0m (H1 2022: £0.9m), a record for Ten and ahead of the previous record half year (H2 2022: £4.0m).

At the end of H1, the Group's cash position was c.£7.2m (FY 2022: £6.6m), with net cash of c.£0.5m (FY 2022: £3.2m). This reflects the Group's normal (pre-COVID-19) seasonality, to consume working capital in the first half of the year and was adversely impacted by a late client receipt of £1.0m, which has now been received. An invoice discounting facility was signed during the period with the Group's bank (H1 2023: £2.1m drawn down), in addition to the Group's £4.6m of loans (FY 2022: £3.4m), to underpin the Group's working capital requirements. The Group expects to generate net cash in H2 2023.

The Group has continued its investment in technology and proposition throughout the period to drive improvements in service levels, efficiencies, and Ten's competitive advantage.
